We're approaching the physical and economic limits of consumer-affordable native graphics.
If games were rendered remotely on supercomputers with 2,000+ Pascal GPUs and Xeon CPU's, would it be possible to achieve reatime CGI fidelity in games? It's true, real-time will always fall behind slow render farms used by Hollywood, but I think it'll possible to create Avatar level fidelity in realtime, by the next decade.
Latency will always be an issue to be worked out, as will vendor control of cloud infrastructure, but I think it could be a revolution in gaming power, if one company invests in giant data centers with supercomputers, mainframes, and even a few quantum processing units.
Ultimately it's more accessible than PC or console gaming. All you need is a display/HID, a reasonably fast Wi-Fi connection, and a subscription.
What are some bottlenecks to the cloud as a hardcore gaming platform?

No for a number of reasons.
You're assuming normies have unlimited bandwidth (they don't)
Input Lag
You're going to lose image quality in the encode -> deliver -> display stack so you're going to waste a good amount of computer power for naught
>play 10 hours of game
>streamed at 2 megabytes per second stream
>72 Gigabytes wasted a day
>play 3 times a week (4 weeks a month)
>216 Gigabytes per week
>864 Gigabytes per month
>meanwhile cable limits you at 200 Gigabytes per month
>$10 extra additional 50 Gigabytes
Future of gaming? Yeah, FAR FAR future. Not in the coming decades for sure.

Why is this shit allowed, let alone in the first world?
Not even in my shithole druglord state is there such a thing.

Go away tech illiterate redditor, no one needs your sci-fi dreams, but the sad thing is that you actually believe it's possible.
also
>latency will always be an issue to be worked out
nope, not possible

They call it FUP, but I don't know why it has "fair" in the name
How would one of these servers serve many people at the same time? This is something I haven't understood as it seems everyone would nead an insane amount of compute and it would never be cost effective in a million years

>200 GB limit
hehehe
Now what if- just hear me out on this! What if instead of another computer the game was being ran on YOUR computer at a quality that YOUR computer could handle and it was streamed to YOUR monitor?! Now that's the future of gaming me! :^)

holy shit get this mad man out of here
>>54483681
Yeah but what if we got to mars for vacations so would not it be better to have that power in your phone and have it stream to you cuckulus rift?! Mad gaming sessions everywhere
Before that they have to make sure enough people can play , I live in France and have 1.6MB/s.
I'm not against cloud gaming but my isp is.
It won't happen before long

Canada did it first and people hated it, so they brought it to the US. Don't they love their customers?

Congrats OP.

You are a prime cuck, and you aren't even aware of it.

>Cloud Gaming
You realise "cloud" is just corporate's buzzword for "internet", right?
>>54482624
There is no cloud, it's just someone else's hard drive.

It didn't work because of input lag and bandwidth limits.
